For the third consecutive game, the Tennessee Titans fell behind to their opponent 17-0. For the third consecutive game, there would be no Titans comeback. The New York Giants led 23-0 at halftime, extended it to 30-0 early in the third quarter, and finished the Titans off for a 36-7 triumph. The lone Titans score came on […]

In a season marked by great start after great start, the Titans had another one. The Texans started off red-hot on third downs, converting repeatedly (including on fourth down the one time they didn’t on third down) for a 14-0 lead before the Titans took their third offensive snap (a Zach Mettenberger pass intended for […]

It started ugly early and never really got that much better. The Eagles took the opening kickoff 107 yards for lead just 13 seconds into the game.
